Manchester, England based collective Nucleus Roots’ strap-line is “Digital vibrations from Old Skool Inspirations” – for this seven inch vinyl 45 you can drop the digital vibrations. This is solidly old skool roots reggae, with Manchester, Jamaica born singer Stikki Tantafari offering up his second single with the Nucleus and telling us that “through my veins runs the blood of Kings”, a solid Rasta message well sung and with fine backing vocals over a rock solid backing.

The dub is also defiantly old skool, with this release being a timely reminder of how good and joyous the roots can be.
